2 THE BULLETIN SPRING 2019

I have been very fortunate to be involved with the OFSAA organization throughout my educational career. From my time as a young coach to my most recent involvement as part of the executive council, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with OFSAA. It has been a fantastic learning and leadership experience.

OFSAA’s philosophy of “Education Through School Sport” is one that has education as the ultimate goal. This is what makes high school sport unique and it is also what makes it so valuable. I strongly believe in high school sport and the special opportunities it provides for students, coaches, families and communities. Some of my most valuable experiences have occurred as a result of high school sport.

The part of OFSAA that I will miss the most is also the most important part of OFSAA – The People. I have always been amazed at how so many diverse individuals, who are spread across a vast geography, can collectively work together to effectively provide so many positive opportunities and experiences for students, year after year. The OFSAA organization is very strong but the grassroots passion and belief in school sport is even stronger. It is what drives the whole organization and it will continue to allow OFSAA to overcome any challenges that lay ahead.

I look forward to seeing the implementation of the new initiativesfromOFSAA’sstrategicplan,specificallytheParticipation Task Force. I truly believe the concept of the OFSAA Regional Event #justplay has tremendous potential to provide more and more students the

opportunitytoexperiencethebenefitsofschoolsport.It is an exciting area of growth to complement our already extremely successful programs.

I wish to thank the OFSAA staff and executive for their support and guidance over the last six years. Their commitment, passion and dedication is second to none. I can honestly say that they are one of the most effective and most enjoyable groups of people I have ever worked with.

I wish everyone at OFSAA continued success and many more years of providing direction and leadership to the student-athletes of this province.

A Word from Ian Press, OFSAA Past President

Ian Press with OFSAA President Jennifer Knox

Ian Press is completing his term on the OFSAA executive council this June after serving for the past six years. He joined OFSAA as vice president in 2013, then moved into the president’s position in 2015, and finally past president in 2017.

Ian has provided sound leadership to the organization during his tenure, and is known for his insightful thoughts and creative ideas. He is currently the principal of Bayside Secondary School in Belleville, and has spent his entire career involved in many aspects of school sport, while understanding the important role it plays in a young person’s development.

We thank Ian for the many hours of volunteer time he has given to OFSAA and for his commitment to providing opportunities to student-athletes.

SSchool Board PresentationsOver the past 10 months, OFSAA’s Advocacy Committee has spearheaded a challenging “awareness presentation project” in collaboration with the 18 regional Associations across Ontario.

This initiative involved Association Representatives reaching out and scheduling in-person presentations to the Boards of Education in their respective regions. The purpose of carrying out the presentation is to promote the importance and value of high school sport at the local level. OFSAA has supplied an informative video that is the focal point of the presentations. The inclusion of student-athletes and teacher-coaches in the presentations has been impactful.

It is the hope of the Advocacy Committee that these presentations within local districts will lead to more dialogue and more avenues to improve the situation for the students and coaches involved in high school sport.

Here are just a couple of examples of the tremendous work being done on this project by teachers and students:

CIOS is a program developed by the Coaching Association of Canada and the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations to give teacher-coaches and community volunteers the special skill-set they need to coach effectively in the school environment. CIOS also provides 3 PDpointstomaintainNCCPcertification.

Let’s look to educate more volunteers, teachers and coaches about OFSAA and we can do that through the CIOS! If you are interested in hosting a CIOS workshop at your school (this course is offered in both English & French), please contact Denise Perrier at [email protected] or 416-426-7436.

The 2019 Girls’ Curling Championship was won by the team from W.C. Eaket Secondary School in Blind River. Current enrollment at the school stands at 145 students. The team consisted of Abby Hagger (Lead), Mya Smith (Skip), Athena Moffatt (Second), Avah Olsen (Vice), Scott Smith (Honorary Fifth & Assistant Coach) and Amanda McDonald (Coach). Here is a first-person account of their memorable OFSAA Experience in March in North Bay.

Our OFSAA Curling JourneyBy Mya Smith

Our curling journey truly began back in elementary school,whenwewerefirst introduced to the sportata very young age. We not only met at the curling club, but we grew up side-by-side playing the sport we have grown to love. Being able to share this experience with each other has made it that much more memorable. To quote former Olympic curling champion, Brad Jacobs, “Curling is our healthy obsession.”

Our journey has not been without setbacks or challenges. Ourlead,AbbyHagger,isafiercecompetitor,butsheisalsoatenaciousfighterawayfromtherink.Abbywasfirstdiagnosedwithcancer,stagefourneuroblastoma,when she was four. After being in remission for a few years, she had a relapse. She survived the relapse and was cancer free for about five years. Then, October15th, 2015 came. We found out, after she collapsed in her house, that Abby had a tumor in her brain. She wasflowntoOttawaforemergencysurgery.Duringthesurgery, there was a lot of stress put on her body so the doctors decided to put her in a medically induced coma for a week so her heart could recover. When Abby woke up, not only was she unable to move the whole

right side of her body, she had another surgery coming her way to remove the rest of the cancerous tumor. Abby endured countless rounds of chemotherapy, numerous weeks of radiation, as well as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, before she wasfinallyabletoreturnhome.Backathome,wewereall still worried sick about her. Knowing that this was her third time with cancer and the statistics of cancer survivors, we were all praying like crazy for our girl. Abby is such a strong woman, but what kept her going in the hospital was something that her mother said that truly inspired all of us too. “Do you ever want to throw a curling rock again?” This was Abby’s constant motivation through her recovery. Curling is a sport that brings Abby tremendous joy, but beyond that, it is a part of who she is, and it truly inspired her and her recovery.

We are all beyond grateful that Abby fought like crazy, kicked cancer’s butt and came home to us. Abby is the type of player that makes our team strong and persistent in our pursuits. Never once, have we ever given up during any of our games. While at OFSAA, we would look around the rink and see other teams and players getting distressed about their teammates’ missed shots, but our team was always so supportive. This foundation of constant support and trust is what helped us succeed, even in the toughest of moments.

We believe curling is a game of mental toughness, trust, and superstition. Trust plays a big role in the game. Once you lose trust in the ice your playing on, your skip, your sweepers, or yourself, you have lost the game. Mentally, there is so much strategy involved in the game of curling as a whole, but also within each shot ever thrown. We believe, if you get down on yourself or others

Sabout missed shots or opportunities, your team and your game will likely suffer. We believe that we can attribute much of our success to our ability to stay calm in stressful situations and trust our sweepers’ judgement with every shot. Curling is such a team sport, but has many individual components. Every person on the team plays a special role in each rock played. We believe, as a team, we have the utmost respect for each other in all aspects of the game and that has allowed us to develop an unbreakable bond.

Just like many other sports, curling for us, involves many pre-game rituals, which allowed us to stay confidentandmentallypreparedforeachgameatOFSAA. Over the last few years, some people may say these rituals have evolved into superstitions, but we think these superstitions were the key to us staying loose and relaxed heading into big games or moments. Like hockey players in playoffs on a winning streak, we changed nothing about what we did during our week at OFSAA. For example, we had the same thing for breakfast every morning, we ate the same ‘magic’ granola bars at fourth end breaks, and we wore our hair in the same braids. Our coach made sure she was wearing the same black jacket each game, she continued to remind us that ‘scary things happen beyond the T-line’ and she continued to bribe us with the thought of celebratory chicken nuggets. These were just some of the traditions that made our OFSAA experience unique to us.

Curling and sports have taught us many things as

a team, but also as individual people. The trust that we have built over the years and the friendships we have developed are unbreakable. Not only did we make friendships that will last a lifetime, we became a curling family. As a curling family, we learned responsibility, organization, and time management. Missing numerous days of classes is hard, especially when you are in your senior years of high school, but that did not stop us from taking care of our priorities as student-athletes. As our journey continued, we learned how to get all of our homework done and handed in on time, even when we were on the road. Being a student-athlete and achieving success in both athletics and academics is very important to all of us.

We would not trade this experience for anything else in the entire world and will cherish our memories forever. Our coach encouraged us each step of the way to take in every single moment at OFSAA – such as the atmosphere at the rink, the banquet, the sweaters, the road trip, the fourth end breaks, and the team dinners. Winning OFSAA was an unbelievable milestone for our team, but making history in our school and in our small town in northern Ontario has been remarkably overwhelming. The support of our town has been like no other! We are all eternally grateful for the support and acknowledgement we have received. We cannot wait for what the future holds for us moving forward in the sport of curling. We know without a doubt, that we would love the opportunity to return to OFSAA next year to defend our title. Go Royals Go!

2019 RECAPThe 2019 OFSAA CONFERENCE took place on May 9 & 10, 2019 at Durham College/University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa. Teacher-coaches, athletic directors and physical education teachers from across the province found professional development learning opportunities across the classroom, gymnasium and lecture theatre.

The conference incorporated the following areas of focus: coaching skills and drills, ankle taping, setting the culture in the locker room, JOGA, Pickleball, DBL Ball, Ultimate, KIN-Ball, Run Jump Throw Wheel, building smart muscles and CIAAA and CIOS courses.

The attendees enjoyed taking part in the inspirational keynote address by Krista Van Slingerland, founder of the Canadian Centre For Mental Health and Sport. Her presentation focused on “Mental Health And The Student-Athlete: What Is A Coach’s Role?”. Her inter-action with the conference delegates in the audience led to meaningful discussion on a topic that is extremely prevalent in today’s society, inside and outside of sport.

The afternoon on day one of the OFSAA Conference was capped off by a discussion and Q & A with the Athlete Panel. Canadian Olympian Brittany Crew (Shot Put) and past two-time Canadian Olympian Anson Henry (Sprinter) were extremely forthcoming over the 90-minute session. Both talked openly about their personal success and adversity on the path towards athletic glory on the global stage and they

also reminisced about their OFSAA experiences and influences in high school. Anson and Brittany wereboth gracious with their time for photographs and casual conversation with attendees and OFSAA staff.

It was a busy, productive and engaging couple of days and we couldn’t have done it without the tremendous contributions of our presenters and speakers. Thank you to Mike Kennelly, Richard Lachance, Marc-André Laliberté, James Levesque, Maria Mountain, Cathy Johnson, Jim Hinkson, Renee Rees, Alison Chasczewski,

As a volunteer and staff member, Peter Morris’ affiliation with OFSAA spans an incredible 34consecutive years. Peter served on the Committee for Boys Activities and he was the TDCAA representative from 1985-1998, including two years as chair from 1988 – 1990.

When Peter retired from teaching in 1998, he moved straight into his role as an OFSAA part-time staff member, taking over from Bob Hancock. Over the years, he has managed OFSAA cross country, trackandfield,boys’hockey,football,alpineskiing,and snowboarding.

It is not a stretch to say Peter Morris is the most recognizablefigureinhighschoolsportsacrossourprovince.

Peter made a career in teaching; a career ideally suited for him because of his ability to connect with people. Countless students and fellow teachers havenodoubtbenefittedfromhismentorship.

Peter has made enormous contributions to OFSAA and school sport. Many have admired his calm demeanor and dedication, and relied on him for support, advice and mentorship.

The OFSAA family extends our gratitude for a job exceptionally well done and best wishes in retirement to Peter and his wife, Sharon.

Thank You, Peter!

OFSAA: Tell us about your early interests in sports during high school.

PM: It was traditional in those days that you didn’t play sports all year long. Individual sports were too expensive to play unless you had the money to play golf or tennis or curling. Most of the kids in my group played team sports like hockey, baseball and football. I grew up in Leaside and we only had one arena and one baseball park and everyone met up at the ballpark at night in the summer as a social occasion regardless of who was playing. That’s where the interest really developed. My parents were always involved.

OFSAA: What was your favourite team sport?

PM: I don’t think I really had a favourite. I didn’t play football until high school. Hockey was a favourite because I enjoyed being the goaltender


when I started out. I could play the whole game if I was in net. I became a catcher in baseball because I could be part of every play.

OFSAA: Did your teams manage to compete at OFSAA?

PM: I attended Leaside High School and De La Salle later on to finish high school. Looking back,OFSAAwas really in its infancy back then. I had never even heard of it back then. We were called the TDIAA back then. Even when I started teaching it was still in its infancy.

OFSAA:Youhadtoplaywithagoaliemaskforthefirsttime at OFSAA hockey, correct?

PM:Yes,1964was thefirst year that the regulationwas enforced. My coach told me “next week you have to wear I mask” so I said, “where do I get a mask”? It was just like a baseball catcher’s mask with a screen and itwas really strangewhen Iwore it for thefirsttime because of the criss-cross wires on it. That was the problem – looking down at your feet through the small eye openings and trying to track the puck. We won 6-5 in overtime to win the Boys’ Hockey Championshipin Alliston and the winning goal was so similar to theLeafs’ Bobby Baun’s famous goal that same year on abroken leg to beat Terry Sawchuk of the Detroit RedWings.

OFSAA: What motivated you to get into coaching and whatwasthefirstassignment?

PM: There’s no question that I had excellent role models as a kid. I had the same baseball coach for six years and he was an NHL referee - Dalt MacArthur – and he coached me all the way through baseballandhewasthegreatestinfluencethatIhad.Itwasallabout giving back. I saw a lot of players that were myidols that were playing junior baseball coming back tocoach at the peewee level and they were my heroes.The same thing happened in hockey. Bill Kennedy,who captained the Marlies and went on to play for theRangers, died very young of cancer. He coached in thesummer time. They were the role models and you justwanted to get involved and give something back. MyDad wasn’t a great coach but he was there so I sawthat side of him.

OFSAA: What attributes make a successful teacher-coach?

PM: You have to have a passion for it. Obviously have to make a commitment to it. You have to have a love for kids and for student-athletes. You want to have a lot of fun and keep it in perspective. Know why you are there. It wasn’t about me and winning a championship. I always felt as an athlete, “someone gave me a chance to play”. I remember that when I played baseball. We had an outstanding group of guys that went through all together but there were other people that came and played one year with us out of the two years. So, when

Peter is a fixture at numerous OFSAA banquets and award ceremonies.

Slooking back, you played two years of peewee, two of bantam and two years of midget. When we were the second-year players nobody touched us. In year one, we scrambled but we made it hard. We knew realistically that we were getting ready for the second year. It was about keeping it all in perspective. Even when I became a teacher and still competed, I knew that first and foremost; we had a chance to play.Secondly, we had to have fun and three you had to win.

OFSAA: What would you say to teachers that are “sitting on the fence” or hesitant in trying to decide to coach or not?

PM: That to me is really easy. If you are in the teaching profession coaching makes it complete. The teaching part is very important and it’s the most important part of your job but when you get the opportunity to coach and take part in the drama, anything that is extra-curricular that is special, it just completes your whole career. The relationship with your students is different when you are coaching as opposed to the classroom and that’s what makes it so special.

OFSAA: Does coaching make you a better teacher?

PM: I had a better understanding of the kids because you had the opportunity to discuss things with them in a different kind of environment. I still remember after I retired from teaching a few years earlier, and I was coaching track at Father Redmond, and the rugby coach was also retired. He was the head of Phys Ed at Redmond. It was a hot Friday afternoon outside the school and I asked him, “What’s wrong with this picture? Look at the parking lot. There isn’t a car in the parking lot. It’s 40 minutes after school and who are the only two people coaching? Who are the lucky ones? We are.” We are the real benefactors.

OFSAA: What made you keep coming back?

PM: Probably all of the positive experiences. You still have an opportunity to make a difference. You don’t realize that you are doing it at the time but by being involved maybe you are giving a kid a chance by you being there. I always said that I still look through the eyes that I did as a kid. So, don’t look at yourself in the mirror. I don’t feel that I am any different than when I was a kid. I love sports. So that when I got older and it hasmade it so difficult forme to saygoodbye. What’s different with Peter Morris than I was a month and a half ago to make me step away from it? That’s why it is so hard for me to call it a day because I don’t feel any different. You have to know when to step away.

OFSAA: Will we see you occasionally at future OFSAA events?

PM: Absolutely. I’ve never been to an OFSAA volleyball or basketball championship unless my own association was running it and I’m looking forward to phoning Pat Reilly and saying “we are going on a road trip for the day. We’re going to Hamilton to see volleyball.” I just want to go and watch. I’ve always wanted to go to OFSAA Badminton because I love organization and I think that is utter chaos. I know what it is like to convene Track and Cross Country especially in days when we only used paper. We didn’t have computers and everything was done by hand. So, I am going to have that opportunity. I won’t allow myself to just disappear. It’s not the kind of person I am. I don’t want to get in the way though. I want to be very supportive and whoever takes over my different roles will certainly know that I am there to support them.

Character Athlete Award 2018-19OFSAA’s Character Athlete Award celebrates the efforts of the exceptional student-athletes in Ontario who best exemplify the characteristics that OFSAA is founded on.

NominationscometotheOFSAAofficedetailingtheexceptionalcharacterofstudent-athletesacrossOntario,inspiringthosearoundthemwiththeirinvolvementontheplayingfieldandintheclassroom,inbothschoolandcommunity.

Selecting just one male and one female recipient of the OFSAA Character Athlete Award is never easy, but the following two individuals stood out for their commitment to OFSAA’s values of leadership, equity, respect and sportsmanship.

McKay Colombe Nominated by: Sonia Lapierre

McKay is a grade 12 student at É.S.C. EJ Lajeunesse in Windsor, Ontario.

McKay has made an incredible impact within her school’s sports community and the community that she calls home.

In ninth grade, she played on the girls’ junior basketball, volleyball,hockey,slo-pitch,trackandfieldandbadmintonteams. Incredibly, she had major surgery to correct the curvature of her spine just six months before starting ninth grade. At the end of her second year of high school, she was chosen the Junior Athlete of the Year. Here, she captained the junior girls’ basketball team and she was recruited to playfortheseniorgirls’volleyballteam.Now,inherfinalyear of high school, McKay continues with volleyball and slo-pitch while actively taking on assistant coach duties for the for second straight year for the school’s junior boys’ volleyball team. She never misses a game, practice or tournament.

A true role model at her school, McKay has accumulated over 700 volunteer service hours. She takes pride in being a school camp counsellor for the leadership camps for 5th to 8th grade students. A representative on student council, McKay volunteers in the kitchen at her school, making meals for the school and outside organizations year-round. Additionally, she assists with numerous elementary school games and tournaments hosted by EJ Lajeunesse.

McKay enjoys her volunteer work at the Squirettes of Mary organization in Ontario. Among many duties, she is a leader in serving meals and hosting monthly dances that brings her Essex County community together. Her efforts led to receiving the Squirette Of The Year Award for Ontario as well as the Provincial Board Member Of The Year Award.

McKay used her experience with surgery to support other people going through the same thing. In 2014, she was diagnosed with scoliosis. She spent a lot of time in London, Ontario for appointments prior to an eight-hour surgery on her spine. To assist others, she decided to make a YouTube video about her experiences. The video was viewed over 130,000 times from people all over the world. She even has an update video on her channel to answer more questions. Almost four years later, she still gets comments from people on how her video helped them through their trying time.

McKay has earned a 95% or more grade average in each year of high school and she is an extremely worthy selection for the 2019 Character Athlete Award. Congratulations!

Nader Elshawish Nominated by: Amanda Lang

Nader demonstrated high academic achievementproficiencyasastudentwhile making an incredible impact on

the athletic program, his school and his community.

In the school community, Nader served as president of the Muslim School Association in grades 10 and 12 and he was the minister of internal affairs in the Student Parliament this past year.

Additionally, the administration team and staff often relied on Nader to emcee school-wide events; such as, the Grade 8 Night, Grade 7/8 Workshops, and various school pep rallies.

Nader assisted with the development of younger athletes and helped run tournaments while assisting with WOSSAA events and completing tasks in support of the school’s annual athletic banquet. Despite his own busy athletic schedule, he has helped out with One Run (a cancer fundraiser for Wellspring in London, On.), United Way events, as well as in-school fundraisers for various groups.

For the first time in 20 years, theOFSAA Alpine SkiChampionships were held at a location other than Blue Mountain Ski Resort. Jean Vanier CHS (GBSSA) was the host to 347 student-athletes from 84 Ontario high schools representing 14 member Associations and Osler Bluff Ski Club was the venue. Unfortunately, a terrible winter storm descended upon the escarpment on Sunday evening and the snow, coupled with high winds, made skiing impossible on Monday. Conditions were so bad that local snow plows were pulled off the road and all schools were closed! Once the decision was made to cancel the first day of competition,Convenor Kevin Gosselin, along with Osler staff, put together a race schedule for Day 2 that would allow for a condensed version of the Championships to be held. The adjusted schedule saw three of the four scheduled runs completed and champions named in each of the disciplines. Each student-athlete deserves credit for

their incredible skill, patience and determination that resultedinmanycompetitiveracesandclosefinishes.

At the Championship banquet on Monday evening, Darren Matthews was presented with the OFSAA Leadership in School Sport Award for his dedication, leadership and commitment to high school sport in the EOSSAA region. Darren has been a long-time coach and convenor of alpine skiing, volleyball, soccer and badminton during his teaching career at Renfrew Collegiate Institute. A very deserving winner!

OFSAA would like to thank this year’s convenor, Kevin Gosselin, and the rest of the organizing committee along with the staff at Osler Bluff who persevered and made this year’s event such a great success. Congratulations to all of the student-athletes who participated this year and a special congratulation to this year’s medalists!

Highlands Nordic once again served as the host site for OFSAA Nordic Skiing in 2019. Volunteer teachers and students from Collingwood Collegiate Institute (GBSSA), led by coach Bill Hewitt, made every effort to ensure participants would have “a memorable and eventful OFSAA with something for all”. Who will forget the team video competition, the Lumberjack-themed dance and the student-athlete pledge board? Great additions to an already exciting event. The trails in Duntroon were in perfect condition as skiers competed in individual races and team sprint relays over the two-day competition.

Once races were completed on day one, athletes and coaches attended the championship banquet at Collingwood Collegiate. In a sea of plaid, the participants listened closely as the Leadership in School Sport Award was presented to Ann Scully from Barrie North Collegiate Institute (GBSSA). Coach Scully has had a positive impact on students in the Barrie area over a lengthy period of time. Thank you for your passion and commitment.

Everyone in attendance listened closely as guest speaker Jeff Ellis shared personal experiences and the lessons learned as a high school and college athlete. As a 17- time OFSAA medal winner, students were amazed to hear the amount of hard work and dedication that it took to become a successful student-athlete.

Congratulations to all skiers for being great role models for sportsmanship in high school sport!

Once again, we would like to thank Bill Hewitt for his organization and commitment to hosting a very memorable championship.

Over 2300 student-athletesrepresenting 316 schools from across Ontario along with teacher-coaches, community volunteers, parents and interested spectators attended the event at this very impressive facility. Both the facility and the quality of the competition did not disappoint anyone in attendance during the two-day event. Live streaming technology gave the event a professional feel and not only was the quality of the streaming outstanding but viewership was incredible. A total of 7873 viewer sign ins were recorded and people from 60 countries around the world took advantage of the opportunity to watch student-athletes compete live. The top five

viewing countries were: Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Hong Kong. OFSAA would like to extend a special thank you to Rick and his outstanding crew for putting on such a great event!

At the pre-championship Coaches Meeting, on Monday night, the OFSAA Leadership in School Sport Award was presented to long time TDSSAA & YRAA teacher-coach Fredrick “Farley” Charles. Mr. Charles has been involved in the Toronto high school sport scene for an incredible 45 years. Along with his continuous involvement in swimming, Farley has also coached and convened rugby, field hockey, archery, table tennis,hockey and cross country. His dedication to high school sport and to the student-athletes that he has come into contact with is obvious and he is a most deserving recipient of this prestigious award.

Over 750 of the province’s best high school wrestlers travelled to Ottawa for the 2019 OFSAA wrestling championships. The beautiful TD Place Arena, home of the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League, was the host site, with ten mats set up to handle over 1500 matches.

Jason Kirby and Guy McDougall from Cairine Wilson Secondary School, along with their organizing committee, worked long and hard to arrange accommodation while soliciting sponsors to ensure a great OFSAA experience. The volunteers on site did an outstanding job.

After two days of excellent competition, Turner Fenton from ROPSSAA won the boys’ team championship, while Bishop Ryan from GHAC captured both the girls’ and combined championships. Congratulations!

The two convenors, Jason Kirby and Guy MacDougall (NCSSAA), were presented with the Leadership in School Sport Awards for their coaching and promotion of wrestling in NCSSAA and at the OFSAA level. Thank you both for your contributions and congratulations!
